WIN TWO ATVs PLUS TRAILER!


GOAL

To assist Sublette County, Wyoming cancer patients undergoing treatment by helping to defray the costs of travel, food and lodging which come from living in a rural location far from treatment centers.

Cancer treatment alone is costly. In addition, residents of Sublette County who are diagnosed with cancer travel hundreds of miles for treatments, take extended time off work, and often require lodging while undergoing treatment. For some, these added expenses are a burden that can hamper their ability to receive proper care.

Kickin' Cancer in Sublette County strives to raise funds through special fundraising events as well as outright gifts. Donations are tax-deductible. We are a non-profit, volunteer group formed by local residents.

We welcome suggestions from anyone whose life has been touched by cancer.

News
Family of Ivy Porter is first to receive assistance from Kickin' Cancer in Sublette County

In June 2003, Ivy Porter of Big Piney, age 3, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and began a treatment program her doctors say will take more than 2 years to complete if all goes well. Obviously this has deeply affected not just Ivy, but Ivy's entire family - parents Karl and 'Liz and older brother Tanner. Added to the emotional stress, cost of treatment and the exhausting protocol of caring for a family member stricken with cancer are the high costs of travel and lodging to and from Salt Lake City, where Ivy receives her treatment.

Kickin' Cancer in Sublette County has been raising funds to help the Porter family cover these travel expenses to Salt Lake.

Ivy's prognosis is quite good and her attitude, as you can see from the photos, is excellent!
